The King of Granada


One of the great things in Europe is strolling through the old town that inhabits the center of many a great city, like, say, Granada. This almost always consists of a cluster of centuries old buildings, restored and maintained to show off their beautiful old-world charm, surrounded by delightful cobblestone roads and paths devoid of car traffic, all lit up and glowing at night, scattered with groups of people hanging out and enjoying the warm summer breeze. Then you walk around the corner and find that someone has gone and stuck the most absolutely dreadful of American brands they can find in there. Makes you just want to pick up one of those cobblestones and throw it through the window.
